London Buses route 4 is a Transport for London contracted bus route in London, England. Running between Archway and Blackfriars stations, it is operated by Metroline.

In April 2019, Transport for London announced that route 4 would be withdrawn between Waterloo station and St Paul's station and extended to Blackfriars station via Queen Victoria Street instead, with the change taking effect in June of that year.
